Safer Club Culture Conference in Berlin

At the “Safer Club Culture Conference Berlin,” we aim to bring together key players in Berlin’s club culture who are essential to enabling and shaping real, practical change regarding anti-discrimination measures, barriers to access, diversity, and support for those affected. Together with all relevant stakeholders from clubs, collectives, and awareness & diversity initiatives in this context, we aim to develop, discuss, and agree on goals and measures for a safer club culture.
The goal is to work together toward aguide ormanifesto that, on the one hand, can provide Berlin clubs and club culture stakeholders with actionable guidelines and direction, and on the other hand, can serve as a foundation for the Club Commission in its collaboration with its members as well as in its dialogue with policymakers and administrative bodies.

With the Awareness Academy’s first roundtable of the year, we have already taken the first step in this process and worked with key players in Berlin’s club scene to establish initial values and minimum standards. We now want to build on that.

As a starting point, we will draw on the results of the most recent roundtable discussion as well as the projects and initiatives of the Awareness Academy over the past few years. In addition, the initial findings of the Berlin Club Survey , which we will present on-site, will serve as another relevant foundation for this collaborative process.

The Berlin Clubs Survey was conducted in February 2022 and gathered feedback from over 4,400 clubgoers in Berlin regarding their experiences with discrimination, as well as support services for those affected and awareness-raising measures. With the support of various experts and individuals with firsthand experience, we will work together in group sessions to discuss various perspectives—includingawareness, harm reduction & safer use, intersectionality, (gender) diversity, complaint management, accessibility, bystander intervention, door policy, and community accountability —and develop a guide for Safer Club Culture Berlin.
